First, the advantages and disadvantages of operating grain, oil, tobacco and alcohol.
First of all, the grain and oil industry is a livelihood industry with fast turnover, low gross profit and high inventory. Grain and oil mainly include: miscellaneous grains, edible oil and others. It is closely related to the daily life of ordinary people, and it is also a popular category in supermarkets at present!
Secondly, the turnover of tobacco and alcohol industry is lower than that of grain and oil, but the gross profit is much higher than that of grain and oil, and the inventory is relatively high. Drinks mainly include: beer, liquor, red wine, functional wine and other alcoholic beverages. Tobacco needs a special license to operate, and sometimes a quota system is implemented for some best-selling cigarettes.
Second, can you make a lot of money by operating grain and oil?
The answer is yes, there are many suppliers who earn hundreds of thousands to millions a year in grain and oil business. Although the average gross profit margin of grain and oil is only 8? 12%, but food is the most important thing for the people, and people have to eat oil every day. There was once a supplier who cooperated with a county town, mainly engaged in grain, including all kinds of miscellaneous grains, rice, millet, mung beans, peanuts, eight-treasure rice and other daily foods, and also represented some brand foods around the grain, such as Hu spicy soup, which was a noodle soup seasoning that northerners liked.
Large and medium-sized supermarkets need about 2? 3 sets of 3.6m * 1 .8m containers, at least1sleeping cabinets are also used for Hu Guang spicy soup. Of course, these grains are both in bulk and in bags. In this county, 1 0,000 square meters of supermarkets are almost all supplied by his family. Large supermarkets usually pay in batches, that is, one batch of goods is pressed and the rest is settled in cash. This kind of business is like this. The bigger it is, the more obvious the advantages of negotiation. Then, there must be at least 50 large supermarkets in a county. The average annual sales per household is 600,000,500 * 600,000 = 30 million. Excluding all kinds of expenses, it is not a problem to enter a million a year.
Let's talk about cooking oil. At present, there are only a few brands on the market, such as Arowana, which is dominated by soybean oil and blended oil, Long Da, Lu Hua and Hu Jihua, which are dominated by peanut oil, Wang Xi, Changshouhua and Xiyan, which are dominated by corn oil, and rapeseed oil and olive oil. The agents of these oils have high inventory, low gross profit and low turnover. Generally, the domestic consumption cycle of a barrel of 5L edible oil is about 40-60 days, that is, only 10 barrel can be bought every year. Mainly used in restaurants and restaurants, but most of them are affordable and the gross profit is similar. At present, many of them are directly supplied by manufacturers, and agents can only do so unless they have greater strength. Therefore, it is not recommended that entrepreneurs with average strength and lack of resources directly enter this industry.
Third, how about dealing in tobacco and alcohol?
Of course, cigarettes are impossible. Let's talk about bars. If you want to make drinks, especially liquor, there are hundreds of liquor brands on the market at present. Just in the production town where famous wines are located, there are countless miscellaneous brands of liquor, many of which are walking on the edge.
If you represent a brand of beverages, the gross profit margin is about 20-40%, which is related to the order volume. If you order a lot of gifts or have a high gross profit, it will be even higher. Of course, even branded drinks are not necessarily popular in the local market, and the regionality of drinks is related to the marketing efforts of brands. Maotai, Wuliangye, Yanghe, Luzhou, Fenjiu and other famous wines are basically best-selling wines, and other second-and third-line brands are basically liked by local people. Then, if you want to represent famous wines, you must first look at your own strength. Now basically all have market protection and strong strength. If you are a famous wine agent, it is common to earn millions a year! The wine industry has a high demand for marketing. If you don't know how to market, even the best wine may die. With proper marketing, second-and third-line beverages can also occupy the market.
In a word, whether you make grain, oil or drinks, you may succeed or fail. They face different customers and different business models. You should choose which one to do according to your familiarity and professionalism!
